  • You created a User Account

  • You bought a license (or you have been granted one by your school, if you are a student)

  • You installed the Praxinos Launcher

Your license is rehostable, so if you need to install Odyssey on another seat, you will have to Deactivate first from the old seat.

Once the activation is complete, you can launch Odyssey, either from the Launcher or from your Desktop.

License is about to expire

Don’t forget to open the Launcher at least once every month, while being connected to the Internet. If you get a message telling you your license has almost expired, it means you must either start the Launcher or extend your subscription. In that situation, please contact us.

Note

The expiration date is not related to the duration of your subscription.

Managing your license

License not found

As explained above, your license is rehostable, but you need to deactivate your license first before activating on another computer.

If you do not deactivate your license first and try to use the same ticket twice, you will be displayed this message in orange:

The sheet underneath will provide more information regarding the computer currently using the ticket, so you can identify it.

You may have been using and activating several licenses (Beta, demo, release…) on the local machine. This information can be found right here.
